problem with telnet and ftp server on win 2K

problem with telnet and ftp server on win 2K

[John Vincent]

I've discovered that I cannot successfully telnet into my Win 2K box using 
the cygwin inetd, there is also a problem with the ftp service. I've 
installed inetd as per instructions, and installed it as a service.

When I use telnet to attempt to log in, everything goes OK until the point 
where a shell should be started, at that point I get a pop-up box appearing 
on my Win 2K screen with the title "bash.exe - Application Error" and the 
text "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click on 
OK to terminate the application." When I click on OK my telnet session ends 
with the message "Connection closed by foreign host."

When I use ftp to connect to the Win 2K box, the connection succeeds, and I 
can transfer files in both directions, but when I use the DIR command, I get 
a pop-up box appearing on the Win 2K screen exactly as for telnet described 
above, except that the first word of the title is "ls.exe" instead of 
"bash.exe".

If you have any information, or if you can confirm that this is a bug, 
please let me know. Thanks.

This has been discussed on the mailing list before, search the
archives.  I noticed it with cygwin-1.3.10 on NT4, and found that
enabling ntsec solved the problem for me.  But there are lots of
things to check, like the correctness of your /etc/passwd and
/etc/group files, rights given to the inetd service account,
execute permissions on the applications and cygwin1.dll, ...

It's a mystery, to me, why it fails without ntsec but works with
ntsec, all other things being the same.  But I've stopped worrying
about it, now that I use ntsec.

Good luck.  Report back if you have something new to add.

Regards,
David

I'm totally new to nt4, so could I ask what thingy I click and
what to change to enable this ntsec thing?  The previous poster
mentioned that he'd been able to use the control panel, but I see
no cygwin icon when I bring up the control panel... perhaps he's
not using nt.  Is the registry thing what I need to change?  If so,
how does one change it?

If this stuff is discussed in a beginners guide to nt, or a help
file that I just need to read, then a pointer would be very welcome.

Thanks.

It would be useful to scan the documentation at http://cygwin.com/ .  Some
of your questions are answered there.  For this, look for the CYGWIN
environment variable.

Hi David,

Thanks for the info. I created a system-wide environment variable
using the control panel called "CYGWIN" with a value of "ntsec"
and rebooted, and now telnet and ftp are working fine!

Thanks for your help.
/John
